Audei or Arverni?

[pezhetairoi]

Aaaactually, the Milnaht are really nothing to shout about. My Bataroas perform better, AND their unit size is bigger. And IIRC, there are no better troops to build from the Belgae until the Mairepos come out, so... Yeah. I reunited the country as Arverni, then heralded my entry into Italia by annihilating the Aedui, then destroying the Romani in a blitzkrieg. Then I sat quiet while converting my southern armies into mixed Celt-Romano-Greek ones, then blitzed the Sweboz with my 3 remaining Celto-Rhaetic armies.

Arverni are much better because of the whole God-King thing. Either way, though, the Gauls are tough once you start expanding to the east. :)

Sigh... Aedui or Arverni. I had unified Gaul and was just about ready to sack Rome as the Arverni when I finaly decided I thought the Aedui units looked just a little bit cooler. Back to the start

I would like the Arverni cos of their geographic position mainly but Im Casse through and through unfortunately

Bataroas look very good value units too, cheapish and 200 strong with longswords and a little armour

[pezhetairoi]

They are very good value units indeed. They can hold almost any line as long as you intend to relieve their pressure from flank or rear sometime soon. And their unit size is huge. Milnaht are comparable, but somehow they die faster than Bataroas though stats are better. Hmm.

I like the Aedui because of the Wild Boar thingy on their standards. Plus the Soldurus model of the Aedui is WAY cooler than the Arverni. And the Cornutos guys are sweet looking too. But the Arverni Gaesatae model has a cooler shield than the Aedui one.

In terms of legitimacy... well.....
-I like the Aedui because of the balance of powers whithin their governing structure, its reminds me of the balance of powers between Congress+WhiteHouse+Supreme Court. (Hell I would even say the craddle of democracy was in GAUL not in Athens. )
-But I also like the Arverni because Vercingetorix was an Arverni. And I am a BIG Vercingetorix fan! Oh and a Brennus fan too, both of them.

HOWEVER, I constantly get generals who are "Arverni" in my armies so it really doesn't matter which one u play with. you will have Arverni, Aedui, Helvetii, Insunbres, etc, etc for generals its really cool

Having played against the Gauls, I would pick aedui for the Carnutes. I like having more variety earlier. It seems you have to wait a long time to get new arverni. I'd like to be able to use gold chevroned carnutes. Thank goodness the AI averni killed those guys off when I played as Rome.

Arvernii. i've never played as either but looking at them the Arvernii always jump out at me and say play me next. i never do but i want to.

and in all my campaigns the arvernii ends up growing stronger than the aedui.
